Metallica and Limp Bizkit Announce 2027 North America Tour

Metallica and Limp Bizkit have announced a joint North American stadium tour for spring 2027, marking a rare collaboration between two of the most influential bands in heavy metal and nu-metal. Dubbed Limptallica Twenty Seven, the tour will feature Metallica in an in-the-round stage setup, with Limp Bizkit and Swedish death metal act Avatar as supporting acts. The trek follows Metallica’s ongoing M72 world tour, which began in 2023, and their upcoming Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, scheduled for late 2026 through early 2027.

The tour promises a mix of nostalgia and high-energy performances, with Metallica set to showcase tracks from their 2023 album 72 Seasons, alongside fan-favorite classics. Limp Bizkit, known for their explosive live shows and hits like Break Stuff and Nookie, will bring their signature nu-metal edge to the bill. Avatar, a rising force in the death metal scene, rounds out the lineup with their theatrical stage presence and aggressive sound.

Tour Dates and Venues

While full details are still emerging, confirmed stops for the Limptallica Twenty Seven tour include: - San Diego, CA - El Paso, TX - Fayetteville, AR - Raleigh, NC - Cleveland, OH - Salt Lake City, UT

Additional dates and cities are expected to be announced in the coming months. The tour follows Metallica’s recent stadium shows, which have featured their innovative in-the-round stage design, offering fans a 360-degree experience.

Why This Tour Matters

For Metallica, this tour extends their already record-breaking M72 trek, which has seen the band perform across multiple continents. The 72 Seasons album, which the band will highlight during the shows, has been praised for its reflective take on their legacy, blending new material with callbacks to their iconic catalog. Critics have noted the album’s warm, nostalgic tone, with tracks like Screaming Suicide and If Darkness Had a Son paying homage to their thrash metal roots.

Limp Bizkit’s inclusion adds a layer of unpredictability to the tour. The band, which rose to fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has maintained a dedicated fanbase despite shifting trends in the music industry. Their high-octane performances and rebellious energy make them a fitting counterpart to Metallica’s legendary status. Avatar, meanwhile, represents the next generation of metal, offering a fresh contrast to the headliners’ decades-long careers.
